Willowridge High School Summer Reading 2020
Please select from the titles listed below for the summer reading assignment. When you return to Willowridge to begin your English III or English IIIAP course, you should be prepared to discuss the book, using specific textual evidence to support your assertions about the novel. I also recommend researching the author perhaps to gain insight into the impetus for the book.

Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dauber
